time-iso8601

This serialization framework extension formats OffsetDateTime structures from the time crate into ISO-8601 format.

Usage

The crate provides a module designed to be passed to serde’s with attribute. This delegates the serialization and deserialization of OffsetDateTime fields to the formatter.

The framework handles both standard fields and optional fields:

use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
use time::OffsetDateTime;

#[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct User {
    // standard datetime fields
    #[serde(with = "time_iso8601")]
    created_at: OffsetDateTime,

    // optional fields
    #[serde(with = "time_iso8601::option")]
    updated_at: Option<OffsetDateTime>,
}
